The undefeated and promising Mexican prospect, Miguel ‘Zurdo’ Sánchez from Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico has signed with Roc Nation Sports and is now a member of the long list of elite boxers and athletes that have signed with the newly developed sports promotional company which was founded in spring of 2013, and launched their boxing division in August of 2014. Roc Nation Sports was founded by none other than the successful, and famous singer, artist, song writer, producer, and now boxing’s newest promoter, Jay Z.
The 25 years old Sanchez ( 9-0, 7 KO’s ), who is campaigning in the welterweight division ( 147lbs ), trains at the ‘House of Boxing Training Center’ gym located in San Diego, California under the tutelage of veteran trainer, Carlos Barragan, who also trains the undefeated junior welterweight, Antonio Orozco.
“I am very satisfied with my team and with myself because of all the hard work we do”, stated Miguel Sanchez, who added, “In less than a year, and with less than 10 fights, I signed with a huge company that is giving me full support, and in return, I will do the same in the gym by training as hard as I can. I will not disappoint my people or the opportunity that Roc Nation Sports has given me”.
Sanchez is managed by Benjamin Lieblein and Alfredo Rodriguez.
“We are pleased to announce this major step in Sanchez’s career. He is expected to have his pro-debut under the Roc Nation Sports banner in March”, said co-manager Benjamin Lieblein, who continued, “In the year 2015, the boxing fans will know for sure who ‘Zurdo’ Sanchez is”.

Light Heavyweight Knockout Artist Ahmed Albiali 8-0, 8 KOs Looks To Extend KO Streak on ESPN Friday Night Fights
“KNOCKOUT ARTIST”
In his last fight, a bout that was shown on ESPN “Friday Night Fights”, Ahmed showed great power, dropping his opponent Lawrence Blakey three times before the referee stopped fight at the 1:44 mark of round three. Known for having heavy hands, Elbiali is a knockout artist who will look to extend on his KO streak.
“I want to continue to get better with each fight,” said Elbiali. “I’m always throwing hard punches and the knockouts are happening. I don’t want to rely on my power every time I step in the ring. I know if I start head hunting then I’ll be doing myself a disservice. I want to keep improving on my body punching and head movement. If I see my opponent is in trouble, then that’s when I’ll try to end the fight.”
Advised by Al Haymon, Elbiali feels he has what it takes to become something special in the cruiserweight division. With a few more victories, Ahmed sees himself fighting for a regional title.
“I know with Al Haymon steering me in the right direction, I can become a household name in this sport,” Ahmed continued. “If I can have a strong outing in 2015, I know there will be opportunities for me to capture the fans attention. I just want to keep fighting on a regular basis and make some noise in the light-heavyweight division.”
